Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
AutoZone has stainless sleeved calipers in stock cheaper than anywhere.  They work fine.   I have 4 on my car.

I'm with Ken here. Got all mine from autozone , one leaked when I got it and they took care of the problem ASAP. 2 years later no problems.

Vette(s): 1978 (25th Annv. Edition)Red, Black interior, 4-Speed Transmission, L-82, Power & Air, Very Rare Option Package(Only 145 Red 1978s with a 4 speed trans) & Very Original Car, with original Window Sticker, Bill of Sale and all documentaion.
I ordered mine from MidAmerica. They offer brand new castings of the original brakes. If you don't want rebuilt brakes that is the way to go. I have had no problems since replacing them!

One of the reasons I ordered new casting is so I did not have return the original calipers or incure a core charge. I have everything that I have ever replaced on my Vette stored in my shop for the next owner. That will probably be one of my sons.Thumbs%20Up
